I use an integrative approach which means that I use Therapy techniques that most suit you, your personality and the difficulty you are experiencing. These techniques range from Cognitive therapy to Internal Family Systems to Solution Focused therapy. The goal in treatment is to learn how to recognize how your negative thoughts can affect behavior and emotions, and to try to shift your patterns.
